Sunday is the big game! My hometown Bears let me down again this year but luckily I’m use to disappointment. Will Tom Brady win another one? Will the eagles finally get one? Do you care? For a lot of folks, it’s all about the commercials, the halftime show, the food, and of course the drinks right? You can pretty much guarantee a cool commercial from Budweiser, Coke, and maybe Godaddy. Plus, Justin Timberlake is performing at half time! To celebrate the big game, and JT’s half time performance, Angry Orchard hard cider has teamed up with mixologist Jeremy Oertel to create the Man of the Orchard cocktail, which we’ve shared with you below.
Cheers,
Alex
